woohoo im first for the very first time! lol
yay?

So fast I get a cramp in my leg trying to keep up.
I don’t think they are actually shipping from bh yet, sold yes but not shipping.
“The new Speedmaster Mitakon 50mm f/0.95 Full Frame E-mount lens is now sold directly by BHphoto”
What do you mean “directly”? bhphoto is a middleman.
this isn’t the fastest lens. yesterday i saw a faster lens that was traveling with more the 80km/h on the highway and definitely was faster than this thing just sitting in bh.
Sorry to disappoint you, but my Mitakon has already travelled faster then that 😀
with spaceship?
nope, only on the motorway and also on the plane from HK
The image quality (sharpness and color rendering) of this lens is just “ok”, but it is humongous and weights a ton. Personally, I would rather have a 50mm f1.4 with OSS than this one. Good luck trying to manual focus anything at f0.95. Its more a bragging right than a practical tool.
Have you used it?
With focus peaking the manual only is not a show stopper although manual focus only is not everybodies favorite.
What I saw of this lens so far was abit of a mixed bag. As for most ultra fast lenses shooting wide open leaves a lot to be desired regarding border and corners as well as CAs.
I assume most of this being gone by stopping down two stops. But then it is still almost as fast as the mighty 55/1.8.
The price of both is nearly the same. So on one hand you have an autofocus lens from Sony-Zeiss and on the other a manual only third party lens which has the magical aperture 0.95.
So I guess it is a question of personal taste.
I will likely go for the FE Zeiss.
You don’t use focus peaking you use focus zoom, two levels that offer all NEX-A7* cameras.
Do you even have a sony camera?
I use focus peaking with manual glass. It works great. What are you talking about? I also use the punch in magnification to get critical focus when necessary.
Do you even have a Sony camera?
Exactly. DickB said you cannot focus with focus peaking at f0.95. Well that’s why we have focus magnification, two levels. DickB is just trolling.
No, actually I have 5.
But you asking me that question implies that you probably own none…
Ok, I decided to post this Image under everyone’s comment if they say you cant focus properly at 0.95. Go ahead, see what i focussed on at 0.95. You probably need to look closely…

It’s not sharp, but you won’t buy it for sharpness 🙂
I’d call mine pretty sharp
Looking at your picture it’s hard to disagree 🙂 Great lens.
It is. I added some of my pictures to the group you linked, in case you wanna see some more shots. Or directly in my mitakon-album:

I rather buy the a7s and cheaper sharp lenses 🙂
Funny, canon rumor site has a new thread, “the history of canon lenses” and a thread on a lens cleaner vacuum. Well, have fun with that. You can stay in the past while Sony decides to actually write history.
I ordered mine directly from MXCamera, and after three months of waiting it’s due to be delivered tomorrow. The Mitakon is not for everyone, but for those who appreciate its unique qualities it’s a great piece of glass.
What date did you order yours around? So I can get an idea when I should be expecting an update from mxcamera?
I really hope Sigma starts making full frame e mount lenses.
Fastest? Fingers fastest…… 0,95 in manual focus just for still or video in triipod without move…. you have to be great in follow focus… the peaking level can work correct?
According to MXCamera, there will be a Pro version of this lens and it’s called The Dark Knight…
